Theresa May Preps Her Final Brexit Push

Will they love it or leave it? After lawmakers voted yesterday to ask the European Union to extend the U.K.’s withdrawal period beyond March 29, the British prime minister is preparing a final effort to sell her divorce deal, hoping to avoid a delay beyond June 30.
